Using Far Infrared Sauna
Start slowly
Easy does it; using the Relax Sauna is no contest.
Using Far Infrared Sauna, you must slowly build your heat acclimatization program not to stress your systems. At least 1/3 of the population (especially women and older adults) are heat intolerant and do not sweat even with vigorous exercise. Therefore, as in exercise programs, you gradually increase your cardiovascular training over time. Remember that you can lose your training effects and heat acclimatization if you stop for 2-3 weeks.
Session and Beware of Using Far Infrared Sauna
- MS
- Adrenal exhaustion
- Lupus
If you have these, this treatment is contraindicated for heat exposure as they do not tolerate healing well and can exacerbate their illness if exposed to intense heat stress.
Heat intolerance, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and Chronic Illness
For those who don’t sweat, start at somewhere between 5-10 minutes per day and increase by 3-5 minutes so that you tolerate getting up to 15- minutes/per day for the first week and 2 minutes. The day is the second week.
Add 5 minutes to each day for each week to your sauna as you become more acclimated. If you begin to experience an exacerbation of your illness or Detoxification, react slowly and consult with your physician.
Suppose healthier somewhere heat acclimated. Start at 15 and increase to 30-45 an hour. You may be ready for the 2 session days of you tolerate within the first week.
Temperature settings of the far infrared sauna (114-140 degrees Fahrenheit) are far lower than traditional saunas (170-220 Degrees Fahrenheit) because of the radiant heat phenomena and thus better tolerated. You can sweat 2-3 times greater with radiant heat at lower temperatures.
Remember that if you sweat minimally or not at all with exposure to heat, it may take some time before you begin to sweat profusely, so be patient and look out for the signs of heat exhaustion and stroke.
Precaution in Using the Using Far Infrared Sauna
If you have clammy skin, extreme tiredness, weakness, headache, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, or near syncope, STOP. Take a cool shower or cool off by unzipping the door or lying down. Rest and resume at another time, as heat exhaustion is upon you. You also might be set, depleted, and dehydrated.
- If you suddenly stop sweating and your skin becomes heat and dry, STOP.
- Cool off or get in a lukewarm shower and gradually decrease your temperature to the showers.
- Drink fluids and electrolytes at this time.
- Liberal sea salt intake is recommended during your sauna protocol because of the large amount of salt in sweat.
- Check your weight, pulse, and blood pressure. Be inclined to monitor your reaction to heat stress properly. Your pulse may beat faster until you experience a training effect and become heat acclimated.
